Six teenagers have been charged with murder over an alleged drive-by shooting outside of an Iowa high school on Monday that killed a 15-year-old and severely wounded two other teens. The suspects, who have not been named but are in police custody, were each charged with one count of first degree murder and two counts of attempted murder, Des Moines police said.
The news comes one day after the shooting placed East High School on lockdown. Police said they responded to reports of a shooting at approximately 2:48 p.m. local time and found three victims near a parking lot: the 15-year-old male, a 16-year-old female and an 18-year-old female.
Police said Tuesday that the deceased 15-year-old was the "intended target" of the drive by shooting and the two other victims were not targeted. Both victims remain in the hospital with life-threatening injuries.
